In order to comply with the upcoming emissions certification, the vehicle in question must emit up to 80mg/km of NOx, and the new Range Rover Evoque does exactly that more than a year ahead of the RDE2’s implementation on all new vehicles.

“Independent groups, including AIR Index (Allow Independent Road-testing) and ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club), are verifying that our diesels are some of the cleanest available.”

The low-friction engine design in combination with the AdBlue and the particulate filters that trap 99.9 percent of soot, make the new Evoque D150 comparable to a petrol-powered SUV while still offering a better fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions.

The new Range Rover Evoque also features new Active Vanes that remain closed during the initial warm-up but also in conditions when additional cooling isn’t required, such as on the motorway, improving aerodynamic efficiency by 14 percent.
